I'm very sorry to hear this. He was a very talented man.

Robert Redford death article

Robert Redford, the longtime Hollywood icon and star of classic films such as 1969's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and 1985's Out of Africa, has died. He was 89.


According to The New York Times, Redford died at his home in the mountains outside Provo, Utah, on the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 16. No cause of death was given, but Rogers & Cowan PMK chief executive Cindi Berger told the outlet in a statement that he died in his sleep.


A leading Hollywood heartthrob at his peak in the 1970s, Redford had talent to back up his good looks. His decades-long career earned him a best actor Oscar nomination for 1973's The Sting, the best director award for 1980's Ordinary People and another best director nomination for 1994's Quiz Show.


"I've spent most of my life just focused on the road ahead, not looking back," Redford said in the acceptance speech for his 2002 honorary Oscar. "But now tonight, I'm seeing in the rearview mirror that there is something I've not thought about much, called history."


Some of his most memorable films included The Way We Were (1973), The Sting (1973), The Great Gatsby (1974), All the President's Men (1976), The Natural (1984), Indecent Proposal (1993), The Horse Whisperer (1998) and All Is Lost (2013). In addition to 1980's Ordinary People, he directed A River Runs Through It (1992), Quiz Show (1994), The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000), Lions for Lambs (2007) and several other films.

May he rest in peace.

I remember him most in the 1972 movie Jeremiah Johnson.....his memorable line in the movie, "you've come a long way pilgrim".

Jeremiah Johnson! Seldom mentioned as one of his credits from the media. It was a simple film, but captured a spirit that we would like to think existed. I've been told the film may have been based on the life of the real "Liver eatin' Johnson" an old west character that became a legend, unfortunately for reasons less glorious than Redford's portrayal.

I'm sorry to see him go, but he can be celebrated for having a good life.
 
Aww..sad news.:oops:
A lovely man
The Way We Were, the movie.....he and Barbara Streisand which I saw many years ago and cried my eyes out.
Our local TV station played it a few weeks ago, I recorded it and have yet to watch it.
Was waiting for the right moment but now I don't know when I can knowing that he has passed.
RIP Robert

There are no small parts only small actors.

Every once in a while Robert Redford can be spotted in early television shows from the late 50s and early 60s.
He was in a much-loved Twilight Zone episode ("Nothing in the Dark"); I nearly didn't recognize him when I first saw it: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734603/
